  Categories: Candies
       Yield: 6 servings
  
   2 1/2 c  Sugar
     1/2 c  Corn syrup
     1/2 c  Water
       1 tb Baking soda
  
   Put first 3 ingredients in saucepan and put on medium
   heat. Stir until all sugar dissolves before boiling
   starts.Cook to 290 degrees F on candy thermometer.
   Remove from heat and when all the bubbling ends add
   the soda and when the mixture effervesces pour into a
   square cake pan which has been well chilled but not
   greased. When the taffy has risen right up put in a
   cold place to set. Turn out and cut with a small saw
   if you want clean cut pieces.  NOTE:  This recipe
   comes from a candy manufacturer who makes a specialty
   of sponge taffy. If you follow all the instructions,
   you cannot fail. I advise you to use a candy
   thermometer to insure success in any candy making. It
   takes years of experience to judge by the eye alone.
